Overview
The first two years of the PhD Management program at HEC Paris are aimed at providing students with a strong basis to conduct research at the highest level.
Foundation Courses address the fundamental principles of management research, while Specialization Courses offer state-of-the-art insight in a particular discipline. Methods Courses help students to develop the skills needed to produce research publishable in top academic journals. Under the guidance of their advisor, students build theory and design empirical studies culminating in a Summer Paper (end of Year 1) and Research Thesis (end of Year 2).
Finally, Professional Development Courses prepare students for an academic career by offering training in academic writing publishing in top academic journals, pedagogy, and career management. Note that students have the option to take French language courses throughout the PhD Program.
Students who validate all requirements of the Research Master phase obtain a Master Degree (Master en Sciences du Management) accredited by the French Ministry of Education under European Standards equivalent to a total of 120 ECTS.
